Asia Baroque Residence
Project Featured on Mar 16, 2014
The Kwong Shook Lin Residence is a renovation of an apartment in one of Hong Kong’s exclusive high-rise buildings. The aim of the project was to open up the space to create a contemporary and spacious living environment for entertainment and intimate family gatherings. Prior to its reconfiguration the apartment offered constrained bedrooms and fragmented space in the living area.
A common design language was developed to integrate the disparate rooms and unify the apartment’s aesthetic, materials and textures. Spaces and hallways were redefined through fluid curving forms which negotiate and unify the disparate rooms and odd angles of the existing layout. The vaulted ceilings in the bedrooms provide a subtle surface which reflects ambient exterior light and interior cove lighting while concealing structural beams. The sculptural ceiling in the living area accommodates LED lighting and directs the eye the centre of the dining table as the focal point of the open-plan living/dining room.
Textures and materials interplay as wood is used throughout with an emphasis on the quality of the material with the clients appreciation for craft mixed with contemporary CNC manufacturing techniques. The parquet flooring and bespoke oak screen cause subtle shifts in view as one enters the flat the screen weaves into the floor with its wood inlay. Marble forms the primary surfaces in the two large bathrooms, with large sinks carved out of solid blocks, while glass tiles are applied to the walls and bathing area to create and expansive shower room in the Master Bath and large soaking tub in the Guest Bath. The walk-in wardrobe is enclosed with curving wood panel doors and a built in make-up table. The large kitchen can be hidden behind a pivoting door which sits flush with a long wall of storage in the living room.
Working with clients affinity for Feng Shui and ideas of direction and energy movement, the design seeks to create a feeling of fluidity and movement which is organic and contemporary in look and feel yet with links to the character of Hong Kong. The organisation of space which places the round dining table at the hearth of the house and use of traditional design characteristics such as the wooden wainscoting, wooden entry screen, and ornate fresco work help ground the new residence in its context and make it uniquely appropriate to its client tastes.
